When you have a lot of data to organize, putting it into a database can be a big help. The right software makes it easy for you to add new data, to edit existing data, to sort data, and to group your data into useful forms and reports.
These lessons will introduce you to some simple types of databases in Project 1. The later projects will teach you about relational databases, using Microsoft Access.
Common relational database management systems (RDBMS) include Microsoft Access, Paradox, mySQL, DB2, Oracle and SQL Server.
